Tell Her This
performed by Del Amitri

Look around your world pretty baby Is it everything you hoped it'd be The wrong guy, the wrong situation The right time to roll to me Look into your heart pretty baby, Is it aching with some nameless need. Is there something wrong and you cant put your finger on it Right then, roll to me And I don't think I have ever seen a soul so in despair So if you want to talk the night through Guess who will be there? So don't try to deny it pretty baby, You've been down so long you can hardly see When the engines stalled and it wont stop raining Its the right time to roll to me Look around your world pretty baby Is it everything you hoped it'd be The wrong guy, the wrong situation The right time to roll to me

There's people hauling people Out from under their homes There's people hauling people Out through the groaning stones You can see me tonight, I'll be shell shocked and white in the cold light of dawn But I ain't gonna cry just to give some guy Food for songs People going hungry, Stand like a sack full of bones, People going hungry, feeding a billion homes So I put my dead child down, you put your tv on Well I ain't gonna cry just to give some guy Food for songs Yeah, there's people beating people, To keep the system strong People beating people, to keep the illusion going So I'm going to fight every day of my life 'til they're gone But I ain't gonna die just to give some guy Food for songs Yeah, there's people holding people, Making those wailing sounds, Yeah, there's people holding people, Watching them lower me down So I take my leave and you take what you see And you make it what you want But when I see you in hell, I will give you some Food for songs.

With all the stuff they sell you night and day With all the trash they try to trick you with you lie to me Well I don't need it but I get it anyway With all the sadness and lunacy, With all the dispossessed hopeless, youre leaving me Well I don't want it but its how its going to be Yeah, you can try to save the world And baby, that's fine But is it such a hateful crime to start with me? With all the bad debts and misery With all the dirty tricks and hypocrites you cheat on me Well I don't want it but its all that I can see With all the discrete obscenities With all the money freaks and doublespeak you turn away Well I don't need it, but I guess its gonna stay Yeah, you can try to save the world Well baby, that's fine But is it such a hateful crime to start with me?
